GWADAR: The University of Gwadar will soon find a prominent place among reputed institutions of higher learning, benefitting not only locals but also people from the entire region.

This was stated by Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Abdul Razzaq Sabir while chairing the university’s first academic council meeting on Thursday.

The council in its first meeting approved the establishment of two new faculties in the varsity and formation of the Board of Studies in various disciplines.

While terming the meeting ‘historic’, the vice chancellor congratulated teaching faculty and heads of all departments for formation of its statutory and policy-making bodies within a short span of time. He said the establishment of a full-fledged university in Gwadar was a longstanding demand of the locals. He thanked the federal and provincial government for their support in making the dream materialise.

The VC said this varsity would benefit not only people of Gwadar but the entire region in near future, vowing that he would ensure there would be no compromise on the quality of education.
